Good to go Evans (undisclosed) will be in the lineup against Toronto on Saturday, according to Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

Impact Evans left Thursday's 8-4 loss to Washington after receiving a high hit from Tom Wilson. The 29-year-old Evans didn't experience any concussion symptoms and won't miss additional time due to the incident. He has contributed three goals, six points, 24 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and 26 hits in 20 appearances this season.

Exits Thursday's contest Evans sustained an undisclosed injury and won't finish Thursday's game versus the Capitals.

Impact Evans' injury puts the Canadiens' center depth in a dire position, as the team is already missing Kirby Dach (foot) and Alex Newhook (ankle). The 29-year-old Evans was rocked on a hit by Tom Wilson late in the second period of Thursday's game. More information on Evans' status should be available prior to Saturday's home game versus the Maple Leafs. Montreal will likely have to make a roster move if Evans is forced to miss time.

Nets shortie in loss Evans scored a shorthanded goal, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Evans has two goals and an assist over his last five games. The 29-year-old could be poised for more ice time in the near future as Alex Newhook (ankle) is out for four months and Kirby Dach (foot) is set to miss at least six weeks, depleting the Canadiens' options at center. Evans is at five points, 22 shots on net, 24 hits, 17 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 18 appearances. He doesn't have a ton of offense in his game, but he's strong enough as a two-way forward to handle second-line minutes if necessary.

Gets goal in overtime loss Evans scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

Impact Evans remains an important part of the Canadiens' defensive structure. He was listed on the fourth line Thursday but still saw 18:01 of ice time as the Canadiens tried and failed to protect a lead in the third period. The 29-year-old has just two goals and three points through 14 outings this season, so it looks like a repeat of his 36-point effort over 82 regular-season contests last year won't be happening. He's added 17 shots on net, 18 hits, 16 blocked shots and 10 PIM in 2025-26.

Fills empty cage Monday Evans scored an empty-net goal on eight shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact The empty-netter was Evans' first point in seven games this season. The 29-year-old has filled a prominent middle-six role, but his usage remains mostly defensive, so a lack of offense shouldn't be a surprise. Evans has added 10 shots on net, 10 blocks, nine hits and a minus-3 rating while averaging 15:39 of ice time. He's unlikely to repeat his 36-point effort from 82 regular-season outings last year, but a campaign in the 25-30 point range is possible.
